Flip The DVD Disc And Voila! It’s A Blu-Ray!

Universal Studios Home Entertainment has come up with something neat, you can buy it as a New Year’s gift to yourself. Come January 19th, 2010 you can purchase The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum in special individually packed edition because it contains… (drumroll please).. flipper discs! It might not mean much to some of you, but to me it’s a big deal. It’s the groundbreaking dual-format discs of both Blu-ray Hi-Def and DVD meaning you will have the ability to choose between Blu-ray and DVD formats, simply by flipping a single disc…

With complete utility in one convenient package, the revolutionary medium can be used on any DVD or Blu-ray compatible player, game platform or computer, making it ideal for anyone planning to upgrade to Blu-ray at a future date as well as current owners of both Blu-ray and DVD systems. Each side of Universal’s flipper discs includes the entire movie as well as all available bonus features, with the Blu-ray side featuring BD exclusives such as U-Control and BD-Live.

Each film is accompanied by an array of exciting bonus features that plunge viewers deeper in to the shadowy world of international espionage, including top-secret files, challenging strategy games, fascinating filmmakers and actor profiles, commentary, deleted scenes and Universal’s renowned BD-Live functionality.

So we’ll start with THE BOURNE movies for now and more to come after that.
